| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Is This Real Life, a Bravo podcast that relates our favorite shows to our own lives in the world around us. |
| 0:18.5 | I'm your host, Mandy Slutszer. Let's get to it. |
| 0:32.5 | Hi, everyone. Hope you are having a good week. I'm enjoying myself in Naples, Florida, visiting my dad and |
| 0:41.2 | stepmom. Unfortunately, this is the coldest it's ever been in the history of Naples, but we're making |
| 0:49.0 | do. We're making do. I know a lot of you guys went to the Watch What Crappins event this week because a number of people sent me pictures and videos of Luke there. |
| 0:59.6 | And I was so happy to see him rocking his Minnesota Pride with his Purple Rain T-shirt on. |

| 1:51.4 | So we'll see how things turn out with her, |
| 1:54.7 | but I could see her as a future big Bravo Liberty. |
| 1:59.5 | Okay, this week was the Vanderpump Rules reunion, and guys, it sucked me back in. |
| 2:05.7 | I feel like I spent an entire season complaining about how it didn't feel as authentic this time. |
| 2:12.0 | I wish they would break the fourth wall, maybe bring back old people or get more new people. |
| 2:16.6 | I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted, |
